Waffen SS and 1930s-1940s Swiss Army uniforms get me hard.
Also U.S Airborne uniforms were pretty nice.

He received a lance blow to the head as a youth that made him an invalid, so he got fucking fat.
Which goes to show you how fucking dangerous and idiotic of a sport it was.

>Greek city-states lay the foundation of European culture
>Expansionist military driven Romans mostly just adopts Greek culture and contributes much less on a cultural level
>Italy becomes ancient Greece 2.0 with the advent of the Italian city-states
>starts contributing a shitton to European culture
REALLY makes you think.
Are city-states the pinnacle of civilization? Their only disadvantage is that they are at the mercy of larger powers, but that shouldn't be much of a problem in the modern age.

City-states were great because they instilled civic virtues onto a dense, urbanized population allowing them to stand up to political and economic rivals that would have swept them away as individual communes. You don't even necessarily need city-states, just having several competing cities in close proximity to one another is a boon to wealth and culture, such as the Rhine and Low Countries, the Hansa, the Andalusian Taifas, the Silk Road cities of Central Asia, and so on.
Modern nationalism however more or less does the same job, so you don't really need city-states any longer. Now it's all about a global networking of financial centers directing capital and goods between different economic tiers. No point in convincing New Yorkers to raid Boston harbor for their own benefit.

Recently i have had a sudden interest to learn about Spain, and i have to ask, what the fuck happened? They went from the worlds greatest empire, with a massive navy, and a revolutionary army that basically terrorized Europe, in to a third rate European power, with, what Napoleon considered "the worst military in Europe", their navy was obsolete and had no modern battleship until the Espana class. Also, are there any interesting Civil War documentaries i can watch, there is a long series on youtube but its clearly biased towards the Republic. Post interesting things from Spain, favorite events, battles, wars, personalities e.t.c. I personally am fascinated by the Carlists.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Why is it in Western society that it's seen as a bad thing to live with your parents?
I'm not really trying to defend being useless, but if you have an income and a job, why wouldn't it be a good thing that you have multiple incomes in a family to help pay off the house or save money for when something bad happens?

Stop using the word Western to mean specifically Anglo.

Jews pushed the idea to destroy the Western family, this is all very well documented.

In Scandinavia iirc it's even worse than Anglo

It's seems like this would fall into the humanities category.

hellenistic banter between father (Antigonus) and son (Demetrius)
>Once he was told his son was ill, and went to see him. At the door he met some young beauty. Going in, he sat down by the bed and took his pulse. "The fever," said Demetrius, "has just left me." "O yes," replied the father, "I met it going out at the door."

What is the historical origin of Americans being so fat? Countries like Japan or France don't have similar rates of obesity, even if you only count white Americans. Are Americans just hedonistic dumbasses?

Yes
But actually i think a lot of is has to do with the health department encouraging carbs and discouraging natural fats, when actually high carbs and low fat meals are extremely fattening.

Shit food and genetic predisposition to build up fat, expecially in the minorities (black, pacific natives) because their generation got selected in a scarcity environment.
